Ahead of Friday night’s league-wide no-tender deadline, the Red Sox have cleaned up the back end of their 40-man roster with a trio of moves.

Boston lost left-handed reliever Bailey Hornwho was claimed off waivers by the Tigers, and non-tendered relievers Isaiah Campbell and Bryan Mata. Campbell and Mata were designated for assignment earlier this week when prospects Hunter Dobbins and Jhostynxon Garcia were added to the roster.. Campbell and Mata are now free agents; the Red Sox might have interest in bringing them back on minor league contracts.

The Red Sox offered contracts to the remaining 29 unsigned players on their 40-man roster. They have an open roster spot with Horn’s departure.

Overall, the no-tender date went without incident, as expected for the Red Sox, whose Only three arbitration-eligible players – Kutter Crawford, Jarren Duran and Tanner Houck – are key contributors who could get contracts. Boston will now have to negotiate salary for 2025 with these players, with the date for exchanging figures set for January 9. Every pre-arbitration player (zero to three years of service) was also eligible to not be tendered, but the Red Sox opted to keep depth pieces like Mickey Gasper, Chase Shugart, Nick Sogard and others instead of let them go. Notable pre-arbitration players on the list include Justin Slaten, Connor Wong, Triston Casas, Vaughn Grissom and Wilyer Abreu.

Horn, who turns 27 in January, made his major league debut for Boston in late June after being acquired in a minor trade with the White Sox in April.. The left-hander pitched to a 6.50 ERA in 18 innings in 18 games, allowing 22 hits during that span. Director of baseball Craig Breslow has expressed interest in adding some left-handed certainty to his bullpen this winter; Horn became particularly expendable once the Red Sox opened the offseason by adding veteran Justin Wilson on one-year deal worth $2.25 million.

Wilson, Brennan Bernardino, Cam Booser and Zach Penrod represent the four healthy left-handed relief options remaining on the roster, but the Red Sox should continue to pursue improvements in this area of ​​the roster.

Across the league, notable players like Colorado’s Cal Quantrill and Brendan Rodgers, Washington’s Kyle Finnegan, Toronto’s Jordan Romano, the White Sox’s Gavin Sheets, the Cubs’ Nick Madrigal and Los Angeles’ Brent Honeywell were among those who did not been offered as a free agent. the swimming pool has grown.
